Teremana Tequila, the premium, small-batch tequila founded by actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will launch in five new international markets this year, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United Arab Emirates and Colombia, in addition to travel retail locations across the globe.

Beginning in global travel retail locations, Teremana Tequila will be available outside of North America for the first time since its launch.

The announcement comes as part of its plans for global expansion in partnership with Mast-Jägermeister. The German spirits company took a stake in Teremana Tequila in 2022.

In March 2020, Teremana Tequila disrupted the tequila category with its record-breaking launch and subsequent growth. Three years after its debut, in 2023, it became the fastest premium spirits brand to sell one million 9-liter cases within a 12-month period in the US.

Teremana has since won more than 17 of the leading spirits awards, including gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and gold in The Spirits Business Tequila & Mezcal Masters.

The Rock attributes the brand’s success to its exceptional taste, handcrafted small-batch process, and embodiment of the spirit of Mana.

“When I created Teremana, I was determined to create a tequila that is absolutely delicious, high quality and accessible to all, and I’m proud to say we achieved that,” he said.

“I’m incredibly humbled by the demand for Teremana at the global level and thrilled to deliver Teremana to consumers around the world. Mana is at the heart of everything we do at Teremana, and this has fueled our purpose of sharing good energy, bringing people together, and doing things the right way. To now be able to Share the Mana with more parts of the world is a privilege – cheers, my friends.”

Available in three expressions: Blanco, Reposado and Añejo, Teremana Tequila is made at its own distillery, Destilería Teremana De Agave under the unique NOM, 1613 in the small town of Jesús María situated in the highlands of Jalisco. Crafted in partnership with the Lopez family, who are third-generation agave growers and second-generation tequila makers, Teremana is made using 100% mature Blue Weber Agave, which is then roasted in small, traditional brick ovens for over 72 hours and distilled in 100% handmade copper pot stills.

“This next step in Teremana’s journey is testament to the values we share with Dwayne Johnson, the Lopez Family and the team behind Teremana, ” said Michael Volke, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board at Mast-Jägermeister.

“We are also a family business, working together through generations; focused on legacy, sustainability and doing things in the right way. These shared principles have brought great strength to our partnership, and we are incredibly excited to bring the Mana ethos to more people. We will serve the global expansion of Teremana Tequila through our exceptional global distribution capacity and brand building experience. As we work together to share Teremana with the world, we remain steadfast in our dedication to deliver an exceptional tequila made with utmost integrity.”

“We are incredibly proud of what Teremana has achieved in North America in four years,” adds Teremana CEO Richard Black. “Our growth speaks to the exceptional quality of the liquid, and our Mana-led approach to doing what’s right for our customers. As the appetite for tequila continues to grow around the world, we are devoted to being the brand that makes the spirit more accessible, excites both new and seasoned agave drinkers, and continues to bring people together.”

Teremana Blanco features tasting notes of bright, fresh citrus with roasted agave, tropical fruit, and a hint of lemongrass, with a smooth, fresh finish. Teremana Reposado has rich notes with roasted agave, oak, vanilla, spices, and tropical fruit, with a smooth finish that has depth of flavour. Teremana Añejo features rich, warm oak, vanilla, and roasted agave, with a lightly sweet and complex finish.

“As we enter this next chapter for the brand, I also want to give thanks for the incredibly hard work of our partners and our team, who are dedicated to bringing our tequila to the people in the right way, without cutting corners,” added The Rock. “Our shared hope is that Teremana can become a legacy brand, one that brings people together – prioritizing taste and quality – so that everyone can enjoy this wonderful spirit.”
